dazedandconfused,
How old are you? And can you remember any moment of your life when you had feelings and sensations?
What you describe might be deemed to fall into the schizophrenic category. Don't worry: I'm somewhere in that category and I'm learning about emotions now and maybe regaining some. The brain is an amazing healing organ.
Sports are a good way to connect to your body in a visceral sense until you can feel otherwise.
I've had years when I did not feel a thing except pain and sadness. Now I'm engaged to be married and have been able to feel happiness at times. This has been the best year of my life and I'm at midlife! I've been medicated for five years now and had multiple ECT treatments less than two years ago.
Keep the faith. Much depends on life circumstances and your social support network. This site is a wonderful place!
